Fenris is one of those rare series you simply cannot take your eyes off of. Set in a forested village of Østbygda, Norway, the landscape is as dynamic and dramatic as some of the events that play out in the new Viaplay series from creator/director/co-writer Simen Alsvik, who was the lead director behind Netflix’s brilliant Lilyhammer. This Norwegian series dives deep into a puzzling mystery early on when a determined research biologist returns to the hometown where her unconventional father created a wolf habitat, only to learn that her father’s assistant (who’s also the son of one her former classmates) has disappeared.
